Canvas UI Animations not rendering properly

I am having problem attaching Legacy Animations on my Canvas UI objects, I created

1. Scene

2. Added Text UI

3. Added a component to the Text UI which is Animation

4. Created a looping legacy animation that changes color+alpha of the text.

5. Saved and Run

Whats happening is that in the inspector view, the alpha and color is changing, this means the animation is working, but in the game window, even in the Scene window, nothing happens.

When I go to the Animation Window, the key was on frame 0, when i try to drag it to Frame 1 back and forth to Frame 0 fast (while the scene is running) the animation works. same with any values on the inspector window change it fast enough back and forth the animation works.

I almost spend 4 hours now trying to pin point whats the problem. Please Help.
